Court Still Debating Approval of Ford Diesel Engine Class Action Settlement
By Mike Holter
UPDATE: All appeals have been resolved and the settlement is now final and effective. See how to file a claim for the Ford Diesel Engine Class Action Lawsuit Settlement.
Class Members of the Ford diesel engine settlement will have to wait a little longer to find out if they’ll be able to claim potentially hundreds of dollars from the class action settlement.
The Court held a Fairness Hearing on May 22, 2013, but has not yet reached a decision, according to an update on the Settlement Administrator’s website. The Court is expected to issue a decision and finalize the class action lawsuit settlement by mid-July. Class Members are encouraged to check www.DieselSettlement.com on July 17 when a new update will be posted.
The proposed Ford diesel engine class action settlement will resolve dozens of class action lawsuits, consolidated as In re: Navistar 6.0L Diesel Engine Products Liability Litigation, that claim the PowerStroke diesel engines installed primarily in heavy-duty Ford trucks and vans contains defects that result in poor performance and expensive repair bills.
Class Members include all current and former owners/lessees of a 2003-2007 non-ambulance Ford vehicle equipped with a 6.0-liter PowerStroke diesel engine that received one or more of the following repairs covered by Ford’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty during the vehicle’s last five years in service or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first:
- Fuel injector
- Exhaust gas recirculation valve (“EGR”)
- EGR cooler
- Oil cooler
- Turbocharger
Under the proposed class action lawsuit settlement, Class Members will be able claim reimbursement for post-warranty repairs to certain engine components or for deductibles. These payments will range from $50 to $825.
Claim Forms will not be available until after the decision to approve Ford diesel engine settlement becomes final, so there is no action Class Members need to take at this time.
Keep checking Top Class Actions for claims filing updates. You can also monitor the progress of the Ford PowerStroke Diesel Engine Class Action Settlement at www.DieselSettlement.com.
The case is In re: Navistar Diesel Engine Products Liability Litigation, Case No. 11-cv-2496, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

I own a 2006 f-250 and a 2006 f-350, both with the 6.0 in them. They both have less than a hundred thousand miles and I have already had the head gaskets done on one that was around 5000 dollars. Now I worry about when not if the other will be blown, sure hope someone makes Ford make it right with ALL the people who have bought this LEMON. Never been one to sue anyone but they clearly have sold me a money pit
I am still the original owner of 2004 Ford Diesel truck but was never advised of any class action suit! Just foundf out yesterday. Any way of being added?
I had the after markit egr cooler and oil cooler and a new turbo imstalled after 62,000 miles But seems to be fine now. But Ford sued International because of the 6.0 diesel and got 50.000.000.00 so they knew something was wrong with that motor
I have a 2005 F-350 at 81,000 miles we have spent over $10,000.00 for new injectors, egr etc. I think FORD has a problem that needs some legal attention
